Ya gotta love the classics.
« on: January 08, 2012, 10:05:55 PM »
Last night, I practiced with the new band I'm putting together.  I took my '64 Gibson EB-0, and was really enjoying its sound.  At one point I started the bass line for "Sunshine of Your Love" and everybody jumped on it...and it sounded fantastic.  I LOVE playing that bass line...and that mudbucker is the ideal sound.

Next thing I knew, we added it to our planned set.  Yahoo!!!!

Now all I need is the hat...

I used the EBs a lot in my previous band.  They had more of a classic hard rock/blues thing going, and the fuzzy EB sat nicely between the dueling guitar rigs.  Had fun pounding out some Cream covers with them, and another one that I always enjoyed was...

Love the Fool, what a history for a single guitar, now resting in Todd's case.

I saw West, Bruce and Laing on their very first tour, long before their album ever came out.  I was about 20 ft. from the stage.  Jack was playing with one finger, and doing figure 8's all night.  I wanted to go home and throw rocks at my bass.

That Cream video was shot with a single camera as a single shot. We've come a long way since then...

not sure if this will work but  an older recording of sunshine with yours truely sharing the vocals.  JAck's part in verse Eric in chorus...  Pretty much live except guitard overdubs which i hate but guitards don't know better.

I caught that show in Detroit. Outside of seeing Blue Cheer, that was probably the loudest show I've ever experienced.

One night I went through all the Cream versions of Sunshine I could find on Youtube and that one with Eric on the SG sounds way the best to me.

My band practiced that today - I was playing a fretless P/J with 8-year-old nylon tapewound strings and the tone at full bass...sounded great!
